Yes, I’m Over 40 And A Solo Female Traveler. Stop Being Weird About It.

I didn’t consider we was doing anything remarkably dauntless or crazy, only opposite than a governmental norm. It’s not until we spent 3 months in Asia that we felt weird. Having red hair and a large mouth, I’m no foreigner to being conspicuous. However, we don’t like station out since of age. we don’t wish to be a “old” traveler, so we keep it on a DL, like my weight, or my uncanny mania with pickles. When we met others and we began articulate about a lives, we saw a wheels in people’s heads turning. we inwardly groaned as they did mental calculus to figure out how we went to college, grad school, worked, got married/divorced and am backpacking Asia in my early thirties (or whatever age we lift off).
